<p>A clockspring interconnector comprising a housing wall (130) defining a chamber extending therethrough and a rotor hub (132) attached to the housing. A coiled flat cable (136) carried within the chamber surrounding the rotor hub. The flat cable having a first end attached to a first connector location (140) of the rotor hub and a second end attached to a second connector location (138) of the housing wall. A vibration dampener (42,44,142,144) compresses the coils of the flat cable to limit vibration. An outer vibration dampener (42) adjacent to the housing wall compresses the flat cable inward toward the rotor hub. An inner vibration dampener (44) compresses the flat cable outwardly towards the housing wall. The vibration dampeners are preformed having folds formed therein. An alternate embodiment includes a pair of vibration dampeners (142,144) pivotally attached to the clockspring housing which provide multi-directional compression to the flat cable. <MATH></p> |
